Intentional Actions is all about thinking, living and acting intentionally. Intention and attention are inextricably linked. Clarifying your intention will focus your attention on what really matters to you. The changes you desire begin at this point.

When you are clear about the way you want to be, and living in tune with your intentions, not only will your leadership be better, but you will experience a greater sense of wellbeing.

Discovering how you can live intentionally is a journey. At Strategic Intent, we provide some steps on the path through coaching individuals and organisations, leadership and skill development, communications and relationships and mindfulness training.

We invite you to discover what we have to offer and the
approach which will work best for you.

What people believe directs their thoughts and actions, and significant change can happen when issues are looked at in a new way. I work with you to strengthen beliefs and thoughts that create effective action.

Lencioni suggests that job satisfaction isn’t as simple as we might think. Some of us may assume that being highly paid, or doing something we love makes job satisfaction a given. Similarly we may think that a miserable job is one in which carries a low salary, or involves apparently menial tasks - such as in a restaurant kitchen, or a mailroom.

Lencioni, however, sees things differently. To start with, he points out that a miserable job is not the same as a bad one.

A bad job is really in the eye of the beholder. Depending on your perspective, it can be a job demanding hard physical labour, working outside or dealing with the public. Or it could be a job that involves managing people, long hours in an office or a long commute. It could, in fact, be any job at all.
